It was the year 2020…

I was 27 years old, recently divorced, working in digital marketing and traveling the world working for my family. From the outside, it would look like my life was complete and that I was thriving. On the inside, I was living an entirely other reality.

I was completely lost romantically, attracting the same unhealthy toxic patterns in partners and constantly trying to prove I was “good enough” in my own toxic ways.

I was sick with inexplainable rashes, endometriosis, cystic acne, and pushing my body physically more than it was capable of handling at times.

I felt purposeless, unfulfilled, and lonely even though I was working more than I ever had before.

Shame coursed through my body and I contemplated the value of living my own life more than I wanted to admit.

I held onto so much resentment, anger, and confusion that wouldn’t seem to subside no matter how much therapy I did. No matter how hard I tried to “fix myself,” I kept running into the same walls around love, self-worth, money, self- trust, and never feeling like I belonged anywhere, especially with my family.

Through this work, I uncovered how deeply my life was entangled with the untouched stories of my lineage. These inherited traumas seeped into my life through both nature and nurture. In the last 6 years of this work, I’ve explored immigration trauma, war trauma, financial hardship, the mother and father wound, abandonment, abuse, addiction, early deaths, loss, deep survival patterns and beliefs, physical illness, and more.

After 6 months of FCT based coaching with my first teacher, Karie Gonia, I signed up for her 12 month teacher training so that I could finally pursue what my soul called me into — being of service.

After that, I dove into the teachings of Dr. Gabor Maté and other trauma-informed psychotherapists who taught me the profound duality of being a soul in a human body. A.K.A. how does our trauma shape us and how does it become generational? Because I truly believe that we are souls here to have a human experience and we cannot bypass that importance.

of a family system — as I deeply resonated with this kind of experience. It was clear to me that part of my purpose with family constellation therapy was to help black sheep remember their power and transform their role into cycle breaker. So, I wrote a book about it. And then, Hay House decided to publish that book!!
(pssst…coming in 2027)

I’ve lived the powerful transformation that comes with Family Constellation Therapy and one of my greatest joys in life is sharing that with others. There is truly no better feeling than seeing someone remember who they are in this work — without all the baggage they’ve been carrying unconsciously. The freedom, the love, the magic of life, their belonging — it all comes back into consciousness and it’s incredibly moving.

I reside in my hometown of San Diego, California with my husband Tyler, our son, and two pups Max + Riley. I love sunbathing with a good fiction book, hiking Torrey Pines canyon, enjoying a delicious meal on the 101, walks along the beach with my husband, the farmers market, a sweaty yoga class, and seeing the world through our sons eyes.
